Method statement

We first got our PPE on, and then we made our way to the area of the hole in wall and marked up a square around hole with a level and pencil. Then protected the floor before cut out with ether a dry wall knife or repeatable knife so that it will give a good fit for a new bit of plaster bored. Then when all fixed and in place with scrim on it and with PVA we started to mix but a bit of later roughly 1m2. After it mixed to a fine and smooth we started to apply it with a 2mm or 3mm 1^st cote and then leave till a tacky touch and smooth down. We then reputed the same process but with a thinker cote about 1mm then just do all the same till all polished and nice. Then we made any last touches and packed away (plus clearance).

Dear customer

We have inspected your wall and found a hole and a few indents too so we shall sort out that for you.

We will cut a good size square, so that we can fit a new bit of plasterboard to your wall to hide the hole and then scrim it so that when we plaster it will look like it was never there.

Then after when all is done sorting out they hole will make a bit of filler up so fill in the indents.

Then we will sand wall down to a smooth finish and then pack away (plus clearances).

Method statement

We first got our PPE on, and then we made our way to the area of the wall and we started to lay dust sheets so that no paint will get on the carpets or floor. Then ones all is been protected we started applying a primer paint to wall so that we will be able to change the colour more easy and will not let it show the existing colour. We used a 2 ½ inch brush to give a space on the skirting so we can easily run a roller all over with out touching the skirting and we applied 2 cots of the primer and left for a few hours to dry. Then when all is dry we did same process but applied the colour to wall with the same cots as well then after we packed away (plus clearance).

Dear customer

We have inspected your wall and we were told you wanted a new colour on the wall.

So we started to put dustsheets down to protect the floor and then got a primer paint to change the colour on wall to a different one with a 2 inch brush then a roller for the middle wall.

After it has dryed off we then got the colour and started applying it to the wall and keeping the area on floor still protected.

Then when it’s all dry again put another cote on and then we waited till all done and then made any last touches and packed away (plus clearance).
